Fitting throttle cable

Anyone got any hot tips on how to fit the throttle cable to the carb? Is there a trick to it or is my slight of hand just wrong? Choke cable was a 30 second job so I can't figure why this is so difficult. GRRRRR !

Cable goes into the guide on the right ... correct?

Reverse angle goes around the guide on the left

And hooks into the end here ... have I got this right?

Choke cable was so easy :roll:

It is a fiddle but put the cable end in first then into the guide after to give you more cable to play with. g-l

Cable end is in but cable is now attempting to take the shortest possible route. I just need figure how to coax it back onto the guide. Will work on replenishing patience levels tonight.

I would have saved a lot of messing around if I'd taken note of where and how the cable came out! :evil: Cable end locates on the left ... I was trying to fit it on the right :roll: Even managed it too which was a right bugger to undo! Figured it out finally and it's sooo easy t fit DOH!
